References to radio abound on its 21 tracks, and with good reason – the album spans genres, narrators, languages, and perspectives with the ease of spinning a rotary knob. Mining older songs, phone notes, new material, and snippets from TV and YouTube, Wauters has crafted an aural document of the year through his eyes. Despite the circumstances of its creation, Real Life Situations is not a quarantine record. In many ways it’s the opposite of one, taking togetherness as both its subject and its primary medium. Pre-lockdown collaborations with Mac DeMarco, Peter Sagar (AKA Homeshake), Nick Hakim, Cola Boyy, El David Aguilar, and more playfully offset Wauters’ more pensive solo tracks, and even in its sparest moments the album pulses with life. This is due in part to an impressive array of interludes and samples, most of which are field recordings that Wauters collects on his phone, ranging from the innocuous (“A Peter Pan Donuts Conversation”) to the intense (“Crack Dabbling”). Under his care, these small moments become coordinates for the peaks and valleys of human experience, coloring the album with Wauters’ unique shade of realism. “Some people think I’m an optimist”, he explains, “but I’m not. I’m always seeing all sides of things.” Of course, Wauters himself never disappears in the boisterous crowd he lends his chameleonic songwriting to experiments in hip-hop (“Unity”), lo-fi R&B (“Monsoon”), and deft indie folk (“Lion Dome”). Themes of loneliness, personal growth, patience, and companionship arise again and again; we can feel Wauters navigating a rapidly-changing world in real time. Jubilant choruses and spoken word poetry bleed into city noises and overheard conversations. Real freedom, the album suggests, comes not from gaining control, but from accepting its artifice. Like the programming on a radio station, there’s something here for everyone. All you have to do is listen. “[Wauters] has proved himself to be something of an unrelenting force of joy.” – Esquire “Few artists ever manage to sound like New York City does, but within the cosmopolitan sounds of Juan Wauters’ joyous indie-pop music you can hear how the cities’ different cultures collide.” – FLOOD Magazine Artist Juan Wauters Genre Rock And Pop Label Captured Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings A JPW Headspace 2020 Monsoon (with Homeshake) Sentimiento Queens Locura Ventana Presentation (with Nick Hakim & Benamin) Unity (with Cola Boyy) Real (with Mac DeMarco) Keep Cool Carmina Pensá A Peter Pan Donuts Conversation Lion Dome (with Air Waves) JPW Talking Acordes (with Tall Juan) Bailando Estás Escuchando (with El David Aguilar) Crack Dabbling A JPW Theme Song Yendo Powder NY Weaz Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop On Sale View Product Quick View Brian Wilson & Van Dyke Parks Orange Crate Art Rock And Pop | Omnivore | 2LP Released 16th October 2020 £27.99 £39.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Brian Wilson & Van Dyke Parks Orange Crate Art £27.99 £39.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Omnivore SKU: AOMN18758 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 16th October 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Black Spiders Sons Of The North Rock And Pop | Dark Riders | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th May 2011 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Spiders Sons Of The North £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dark Riders SKU: DRLP11001 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th May 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Carole King Touch The Sky Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th June 2023 £30.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Carole King Touch The Sky £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3434C Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mission, The Carved In Sand Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th July 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mission, The Carved In Sand £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5743068 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Reigning Sound Shattered Rock And Pop | Merge | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 10th July 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Reigning Sound Shattered £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge SKU: MRG470LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alison Goldfrapp The Love Invention Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th May 2023 £22.00 - £25.00 Select options Alison Goldfrapp The Love Invention £22.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th May 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Durutti Column, The Another Setting Rock And Pop | Factory Benelux | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th May 2021 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Durutti Column, The Another Setting £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Factory Benelux SKU: FBN30 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View William Shatner Seeking Major Tom Rock And Pop | Cleopatra Records | 3LP Released 9th December 2011 £49.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders William Shatner Seeking Major Tom £49.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cleopatra Records SKU: CLPLP7062 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 9th December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Coldplay Viva La Vida or Death & All His Friends Rock And Pop | Parlophone | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th June 2008 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Coldplay Viva La Vida or Death & All His Friends £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone SKU: 5099921211416 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th June 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gwenno Tresor Rock And Pop | Heavenly | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Poster Released 1st July 2022 £22.00 - £25.00 Select options Gwenno Tresor £22.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Heavenly Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Poster Released Date: 1st July 2022 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
